In this episode of the Art of Making Art podcast, I sit down with Joyce Lubotzky, an artist whose practice has evolved from ceramics and photography to painting and conceptual art. Now based in Clovelly, Australia, Joyce delves into her journey from South Africa to her current work, which focuses on environmental issues and the societal impact of plastic waste. Joyce discusses her thoughtful approach to using different materials, her interest in still life and objects, and how her Master's research led her to recontextualize discarded plastic as meaningful artistic pieces. The conversation also touches on the challenges and misconceptions of being a conceptual artist, the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive community, and the ever-present need to keep creating despite hurdles.
This episode offers a deep dive into the mind of a multifaceted artist passionate about making impactful work using unconventional materials.
